  • Page 7: Planning A Dupline Parking Guidance System

    The Dupline® 3 Parking Guidance System is inherently robust, and it is a stand-alone system. This system requires no PC to run, it only needs a PC for system configuration. In addition, Carlo Gavazzi supplies carpark software, which enables monitoring of the real-time situation of each parking space or level in a facility.

    CP3 version 3003 Calibration When the sensors, LED indicators and display interfaces have been assigned, the next step is to calibrate all the sensors. Please keep in mind that calibration can only take place when the carpark space is empty. Automatic calibration Before a calibration ( or at least the first time the sensors are calibrated), enter the distance between sensors and floor.

    Each address for the sensors are unique, and the algorithm in the Carpark 3 system can see if the sensor is placed in either an MZC system or a single-space system.

  • Page 64: Mzc

    CP3 version 3003 Typically, one MZC comprises a level of the parking facility, but it can also be a part of a level or even the entire carpark. An MZC has a certain amount of parking spaces available, and the function of the MZC system is to detect and count the cars entering and leaving the MZC and thus keep track of the number of available spaces.

  • Page 65: Initialisation And Adjustment

    CP3 version 3003 Initialisation and adjustment In the initial configuration, the installer has to define the number of spaces in each MZC. From that point, the MZC will increment or decrement the count values as the cars enter or leave the MZCs beneath the detection points.
  • Page 66 CP3 version 3003 means that the power supply must be at least double size (5.2 Amp). The power consumption depends on the number of sensors connected to the 3-wire Dupline® bus. Note: The modules are short-circuit protected and will not be ruined by a short circuit. If a short circuit occurs, the yellow LED on the CMCG module will be blinking.
  • Page 67 CP3 version 3003 In this example, we have two MZCs: ground level and 1st floor level. They will be named MZC 1 and MZC 2 in the following. MZC 1 has two entrances (DPOs) from ground level and one entrance (DPO) from MZC 2 (the transition from level 1 to ground level is also an entrance).

  • Page 69: Mzc Combined With The Single-Space System

    Assignment and calibration in the configuration tool are equal for all sensor types used in Carpark 3. The significant difference between single-space and MZC lies in the configuration part. The design in the SBP2CPY24 is more or less equal to the single-space system.

  • Page 70: Installation Of The Counting System

    CP3 version 3003 Installation of the Counting System Below we will describe installation of the counting system and especially the count sensor in details. Correct installation of the sensor will improve the accuracy of the entire counting system. Examples of further actions to improve accuracy, such as mechanical solutions, will follow.

  • Page 71: Sensor Installation (Dpo)

    CP3 version 3003 Sensor Installation (DPO) The vertical sensor must be installed pointing directly to a hard and straight surface. It must be mounted on the ceiling over the driving lane no more than 2.5 m above the floor and pointing directly towards the floor. The angle of the sensor must have a vertical deviation of maximum +/-2-degrees.
  • Page 72 CP3 version 3003 The entrance DPO consists of two sensors, sensor 1 and sensor 2. The DPO in the MZC is programmed so that sensor 1 is first and sensor 2 is second. In this way, the system is able to determine the direction of the car.
  • Page 73 CP3 version 3003 In the below drawing we have an example where two sensors marked “A” are programmed as entrance sensors and the opposite sensors marked “B” are programmed as exit sensors. It is possible to increase the number of sensors for group A and B to ten sensors in total. Five sensors for each group.

  • Page 74: Mounting The Sensors

    The equation above implies that the sensors must be installed no closer than 1.72 m to each other to avoid crosstalk and false activations. Carlo Gavazzi recommends increasing the result of the equation to 2.0 m to make sure you avoid crosstalk and false activations.

  • Page 75: Bumper-To-Bumper

    CP3 version 3003 The sensors can also detect movement if doors, gates and other moving parts are in their range. The below drawing show a circle which indicate a perimeter not to install any movement parts closer than 2*m that can disturb the count sensors.

  • Page 76: One-Sensor Dpo

    CP3 version 3003 Cars driving bumper-to-bumper This problem can be minimised by using optical sensors which are fast and precise enough to detect the small gap between the cars. However, even if this option is used, detection can still be inaccurate, so therefore an access barrier or a speed bump between sensor 1 and sensor 2 might be the best solution to achieve optimum accuracy.

  • Page 77: Programming The Sensor

    CP3 version 3003 Programming the Sensor The count sensor is programmed by means of the SBP2WEB24 configuration tool. This tool can be downloaded here: http://www.productselection.net/MANUALS/UK/cp3_manual.pdf The count sensor has some features that can be useful during the installation. Depending on the speed of the cars, the sensor can be programmed to count slower or faster by using the filters in the configuration tool.

  • Page 78: Delineation

    CP3 version 3003 Example: A multi-storey car park of five floors with 200 spaces on each floor. If the system is 100% occupied, 1000 cars will be passing by the main entrance on floor 1. On floor 2 the number is 800 cars at the entrance and so on, and on floor 5 it is 200 cars. More cars through a DPO (entrance or exit point) will increase the risk of miscount.

  • Page 79: Anarchist Drivers

    CP3 version 3003 Anarchist drivers Driving across the DPO and diagonally activate the sensors, is another problem we have experienced in the Carpark systems. Such behaviour is no problem in systems with only one DPO. If, however, there is more than one DPO, the counting system will not accept this as a valid signal and the car will not be detected.
